Configuration

This client software needs two pieces of information to connect to
Arvados: the DNS name of the API server, and an API authorization
token. You can set these in environment variables, or the file
$HOME/.config/arvados/settings.conf. The Arvados user
documentation describes
how to find this information in the Arvados Workbench, and install it
on your system.

Testing and Development

This package is one part of the Arvados source package, and it has
integration tests to check interoperability with other Arvados
components. Our hacking guide
describes how to set up a development environment and run tests.
